<h1>About the HTML Help compiler</h1>

<p>The HTML Help compiler (Hha.dll) is part of HTML Help Workshop and is the program that compiles a project (.hhp), contents (.hhc), index (.hhk), topic (.html), and other (.gif, .jpeg, etc.) files into a compiled help (.chm) file.
</p>

<p>The compiler provides these features:
</p>

	<ul>
	<li>Source files are compressed into a compiled help file, which uses far less disk space than the original source files.
	<li>Compiled help files can be distributed along with a software product, or they can be quickly downloaded from a Web site.
	<li>The HTML Help compiler can also be used <a href="prjcmp7.htm">from a command line</a> without opening HTML Help Workshop.
	</li>
	</ul>
